The Buster ride-on vacuum cleaner

This one’s just a prototype, so don’t get too excited, but it’s such fun that we just had to share (thanks to Swissmiss, where we saw it first).

What I like about it most is that the designer clearly looked around her house and thought, “Everything’s such a mess, and how can I clear up when my toddler is riding his truck back and - and… oh, hang on!”

I think she’s done a really good job of making a functional object into something really appealing, too – just look at the horn handles! But I would seriously wonder whether it might seem less appealing once the motor starts up.
